This is what we had today as a snack! Chaat is a popular indian snack that you can get by the road stands all over india, but especially in bombay :) It's known to be pretty unhealthy, with all the fried goodness. this is my first attempt at making Bhel the healthy way. No onions, so no bad breath! :) Came out pretty awesome!ingredients: (you can get all these ing. at the indian store)
spiced organic potatoes (boiled, and cut into small pieces. then you add in paprika, salt, cumin powder and mix it up)
puffed rice
sev (little small pieces of fried strips made out of garbanzo bean flour)
tomato diced
cilantro chopped
tamarind-date chutney (tamarind paste, dates, water, salt, ginger powder, cumin powder, honey, blended together into a thick paste. to make it easier to blend, i boil the dates in water until they are soft and then put into the blender)
sprouted mung beans
yogurt (optional)
chaat spice mix (my hubby got this mix fm india, but i can taste black salt, and bunch of other spices in it)
steps:
first prepare the potatoes and tarmarind chutney. then in a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, and spice it up to your liking. Yogurt is my favorite part, but not everyone likes it, so you'll have to decide. ENNNNJOY!!
